Navigate a Trail
NOTE:
Trails are described in more detail later in this section, under the
heading "Trails." If you are unfamiliar with plot trails, consider
skipping ahead and reading the introduction to them before reading
about trail navigation.
There are two methods for following your back trail. The simplest re-
quires no menu commands at all, but provides no navigation information
during the trip, such as the time to your destination. The other requires
only three key strokes and provides a full range of navigation data. Try
both methods and see which you prefer. When hiking at walking speed,
we often just use visual back trailing because it is better at following each
little turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, whether cruising at 120 kts or
zipping down the highway, the Navigate Trail command is handy.
Visual Back Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom ( ZIN or ZOUT ) so your flashing trail is visible.
2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page (or Navigation Page, if you
prefer). Simply walk or steer so that your current position arrow traces
along the trail you have just made.
